Rumoured couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati, and while there are reports that the two don’t have scenes together, they are preparing for their roles in the film with each other. A set for the film has been set up at a studio at Dahisar, in the outskirts of Mumbai. Ranveer owns a house there and moves in when he is preparing for his roles. According to reports, Deepika is also living there with him for sometime.

They have decided to stay close to the sets so they can avoid wasting time travelling. There are also reports that the two are using this time to prepare for their roles together.

Actor Ranveer Singh injured himself on the sets of the film, but continued to shoot.

The team has been shooting at Dahisar for two days now and there are still a few days left for the shoot to conclude. The film, which also stars actor Shahid Kapoor, is slated to release in November this year. Padmavati, that revolves around the 1303 siege of the Chittor fort in Rajasthan, has been in news for a while now because of the repeated disruption on the sets of the film. In February this year, the shoot was stopped by activists of a Rajput group, who tried to vandalise the sets at the Jaigarh Fort in Jaipur. The activists accused Bhansali of distorting facts. In March, the sets caught fire in Kolhapur.
